Dr. Karen Ullrich

I am a research scientist (s/h) at FAIR NY and am actively collaborating with researchers from the Vector Institute and the UoAmsterdam. My main research focus lies in the intersection of information theory and probabilistic machine learning / deep learning 💜.

I previously completed a PhD under the supervision of Prof. Max Welling. Prior to that, I worked at the Austrian Research Institute for AI, Intelligent Music Processing and Machine Learning Group lead by Prof. Gerhard Widmer. I studied Physics and Numerical Simulations in Leipzig and Amsterdam. If you are interested in an up-to-date CV please write me.
